Hello Valeriy,

Finally, I fixed this problem. The fix will be in revision
5.15.04 which will be exposed early next week.

However, I personally do not like this kind of programming. 
Recursive call can waste physical resources. This small
example with a tiny job uses up very deep stack memory.
This is mostly okey for PCs. But, imagine somebody wants
to put this nice picture on a small devices like celler phone
where every piece of physical resource is precious.

Thank you
Masaharu Goto
